MIRAD

MIRAD intends to develop specific, add-on ideological-centred assessment sheets to the IRS, having in consideration two different extremist typologies (right-wing extremism and Islamist extremism), as well as the role of gender. MIRAD also aims to train practitioners from prison, probation, judicial  and non-governmental organisations via e-Learning and virtual-reality scenarios. In addition, the project also foresees the development of an instrument to assess the trustworthiness and capability of NGOs that work with extremist/radical individuals, which could later be used by prison and probation systems in the EU.

• Foster expanded collaboration in the field of disengagement and reintegration programmes between governmental bodies and trustworthy community organisations;
• Quality training and learning opportunities on the use of the ideological and gendered-specific IRS (Individual Radicalisation Screening);
• Enhanced productivity of disengagement programmes;
• Catalyse and promote transversal transition programmes for VETOs (violent extremist and terrorist offenders).

Actions undertaken within the MIRAD project will focus mainly on Right-wing and Islamist extremism with a special consideration of gender-specific dimensions.

Main tasks of the project are: the tool development and training to assess the trustworthiness level of non-governmental organisations, the adaptation of the Individual Radicalisation Screening (IRS) including an ideological-focused component, a mixed-method training approach, and the development of interinstitutional collaboration models and protocols towards effective disengagement and successful social reintegration.

The duration of the project is 18 months starting from 1 January 2022 till the end of December 2023.
